Chapter 431 I Won't Hurt You
Actually, men like this have always existed.
Even in later generations, this is still common. Many men are like this: even if they know the other woman is married, if she is attractive, they will still harass her. It's very annoying.
Some men are so ordinary, yet they are still so confident.
In Shen Zhixia's eyes, Yuan Lianhai was just that kind of man. But what she didn't expect was that Jiang Wu would actually cooperate with him to trick her. Although she didn't succeed in tricking her this time, the feeling of being betrayed was really not good.
Fortunately, she wasn't the original owner of this body, so she wasn't too disappointed. If the original owner had been deceived by her best friend, she would have been extremely angry.
Shen Zhixia stared at her and said, "Jiang Wu, I remember you're married, and your husband is very strict with you, right? He always asks what you're doing when you go out. So, you're always with Yuan Lianhai, doesn't your husband mind? I think you need to face your behavior squarely."
Whether Jiang Wu likes her husband or not is irrelevant. What matters is that she is indeed married, so she shouldn't be spending so much time with another man, especially with him.
She had no idea what Jiang Wu had said to her husband; perhaps she used Jiang Wu as an excuse every time she went out.
But Shen Zhixia didn't want to be an excuse; she never wanted to go out with Jiang Wu again.
Hearing Shen Zhixia mention her husband, a hint of disgust flashed in Jiang Wu's eyes. She said, "He wants to control me, but he's too old to manage so much. Besides, he has an adult daughter who often asks him for money. I have a job and my own social life, and he can't restrict me."
Shen Zhixia remained silent; she clearly had no interest in Jiang Wu's family affairs.
Jiang Wu sighed and said, "Xia, I know you have misunderstood me, but I really didn't mean to do what happened today. I consider you my best friend, so how could I hurt you? Do you remember? When we went swimming before, there was a sudden tide that day, and you were swept away by the water. I kept running along the shore and finally pulled you ashore with great effort. Otherwise, you would have died long ago."
Shen Zhixia recalled the incident in her mind and realized that it was indeed true.
However, it was Jiang Wu who invited Shen Zhixia to go swimming that time. Shen Zhixia wasn't a very good swimmer to begin with, so she refused. But Jiang Wu kept urging her to go, and in the end, she went anyway. She didn't want to get in the water, but Jiang Wu forced her to. Jiang Wu even said she would teach her how to swim.
In the end, something bad happened. It was indeed very dangerous. If Jiang Wu hadn't refused to abandon the original owner, the original owner would have died long ago.
Jiang Wu did indeed owe the original owner a debt of gratitude.
But……
She might not necessarily care that much about the original owner, but since she was the one who asked the original owner to go swimming, she would also bear responsibility if something happened to the original owner.
But no matter what, Jiang Wu did help her that time.
These two people have some connection and history.
Shen Zhixia said coldly, "That's all in the past, why do you keep bringing it up?"
Jiang Wu said urgently, "The past doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Our past feelings and friendship were real, and that can't be changed. Xia, you have to believe in my character. Even if what I did today was wrong, you have to believe that I wouldn't harm you."
Shen Zhixia simply said, "Then tell me, did you call Yuan Lianhai here?"
Jiang Wu initially wanted to deny it, but after seeing Shen Zhixia's gaze, she realized that Shen Zhixia had already guessed everything and wouldn't believe her lies.
She could only admit, "Yes, I did know he was coming here today."
She argued, "But it's not a big deal. You know, he's not going to do anything to you. He just wants to be friends. We're just having a meal together. It won't affect anything."
Just as Shen Zhixia was about to say something, a child on the road gave her a flower.
After a while, people kept giving her flowers.
The flowers are all fresh.
It's obvious that they were picked recently; there's still dew on them.
Shen Zhixia didn't know what kind of flower it was; it was white and looked quite pretty.
But she didn't want to accept it anymore. She grabbed someone and asked, "Little friend, why are you giving me flowers?"
The little girl said, "Sister, this is a gift from an older brother. He said he made you angry, so he's giving you these flowers to hopefully make you feel better."
Shen Zhixia didn't accept the flowers. She said, "Just give the flowers back to that person and say they don't need them."
She knew who sent the flowers. After all, she didn't know many people. If it was Yuan Lianhai who sent the flowers, then it couldn't have been anyone else. She just didn't understand.
As Gong Shaoyu's most beloved younger brother, Gong Shao Chen also asked Gong Shaoyu for many things.
Just a while ago, he asked his older brother for a music company, but his brother resolutely refused, citing the need to support his wife.
Now, he's being so generous with his money.
Gong Shao Chen once again deeply understood his own position.
However, a question came to his mind: "Brother, when did you start owning an entertainment company?"
Although he had never managed the company, he had a vague understanding of these things.
When did the Gong family get involved in the entertainment industry?
Gong Shaoyu glanced at him indifferently.
Gong Shao Chen then shut his mouth.
Xia Qingran initially wanted to refuse, but then she realized that Gong Shaoyu clearly wanted to apologize, so she accepted.
She nodded obediently.
The next day, she went to the company with Gong Shaoyu. For some reason, she felt that the company looked... a bit new.
Despite the excellent location, the people inside seemed to have no problems.
No, there are very few people inside.
Xia Qingran touched her head.
As soon as she entered, a young man walked over. He was dressed quite fashionably, and his eyes lit up when he saw Xia Qingran: "Where did Master Gong find such a beautiful young girl? Not bad, she looks very well-behaved. This is the first person we have signed."
"I didn't expect Master Gong to be so reliable, actually finding all these people for us? I suddenly have a bold idea: could Master Gong have opened this new company just to sexually harass these girls? I don't care, isn't Master Gong supposed to be indifferent to women? If they're not involved, I'm going to make my move."
"So cute, as delicate as a doll."
Xia Qingran could clearly sense that the people around her were unhappy. She had tied her hair into two braids today, which did make her look much younger.
The person's voice was just too loud.
